Extraction/Soxhlet

A fully automatic extraction process that reduces the extraction time acc. to Soxhlet to one fifth of that compared to the traditional technique. Depending on the size of the laboratory and sample throughput, the user now has the option of a 2, 4 or 6 place system in 2 versions (micro or macro). The controller can control and monitor up to 4 units individually. The savings in cost and space are tremendous.

Some key features of this automated Soxhlet extractor include:

Available in 2, 4, and 6 positions with up to four units capable of being controlled from one controller (making application and solvent diversity a snap)

Control can be done via a microprocessor or Soxtherm Manager software

Automatic solvent recovery is incorporated into each instrument

The extraction process is patented with the SOXTHERM principle providing for the acceleration of the Soxhlet method while observing international norms and standards

When combined with the HYDROTHERM Acid Hydrolysis Unit, both surface and chemically bound fat can be determined in any matrix

Units are equipped with a pneumatic door, over temperature protection, and spark proof heating block for the utmost in safety

Single button operation makes for very user friendly operation

Only three moving parts, with no internal seals, making for maintenance free systems

Fully programmable with automatic start up and shut down for unattended operation

Based on the established Gerhardt FibreBag Method, the new Fibretherm offers the fully automated processing of the tedious boiling and filtration steps for the crude fibre-, ADF- and NDF-determination. Fibretherm has many advantages compared to the standard method. Up to 12 samples can be digested and filtrated simultaneously, which saves precious bench space as well as chemicals.

Some key features of the Fibretherm crude fiber analysis system include:

Ability to simultaneously analyze up to 12 samples

Fast, safe filtration

Quick heat up time

Can store up to 10 methods

Saves chemicals, which reduces waste disposal costs

Automated reproducible conditions of analysis
